I have used the Beta version twice in my Forerunner 245. The GPS is recognised very fast and I’m pleased with the records. Also,have the feeling that results are +accurate when swimming just freestyle

Awesome app, gave me all the data i needed on my Garmin venu while i swam in a lagoon. GPS activated quickly and seems accurate. Very easy to use. Thanks for a great app.

I do find this useful for sea swims. It does some weird calculations when it syncs with my phone though eg it initially showed today on the watch as a 2km swim which was about right, then on syncing to my phone it declared it as 3.5km!

Hi, I was pleasantly surprised with the App. It gave me all the information that I required, average pace, heart rate, etc. I understand about the GPS issues as I work in the IT industry with Electronic engineering in the background. Thanks for this great app. I had to use the walk feature in the past and it was bad. I use the Garmin Venu watch.

I was so excited to find this app and it looked so promising. I love the flexibility the app offers with the different display spec options. I tried it for the first time swimming Midmar and unfortunately the GPS didn’t track the swim well at all. It hung halfway through the dam and the signal was all over the place for during the swim. I hope that with more swims it might prove to be more accurate.

Really love this app, have used it for 6 months. Gives me the data I need and while GPS has issues at times, it keeps track of important data that I can review later.

Seems to add yardage as it updates and corrects the GPS position in some cases. Shows my position tracking in jagged back and forth lines and even swimming on shore.

App is ok. The gps is not the best but that isn't the app's fault. Love the info,..

I’ve been using lap swimming setting in my VA4. Garmin connect doesn’t show correct info in laps and length. Watch face shows 20 laps with 1,000meters but garmin connect shows 10 laps with only 300m.

Sometimes Problems receiving GPS signal under water (depending on the style - backstroke is better than breaststroke); so i put the watch under the swimming cap...

Indeed it works only when keeping above water surface i.e attached to swimming glasses. But has anyone idea how to control then a training progress? Ridicoulus FAQ advice.

Distance in the app is quite accurate, but not in garmin connect, as explained by developers. Very good app to bring open water swimming to the vivoactive 3, which garmin won't do. May I suggest a different behavior for the button? Since you *have* to lock the screen of the vivoactive 3 in water, I would suggest a long depression of the button locks/unlocks the screen and a short one resumes/pauses the data recording. It would make your app easier to use in water with the vivoactive 3.

Great app. Gps tracking not 100% but better than other aps I tried. Simple to used and data displayed well.

Love the clear display and use weekly. The GPS on my vivoactive 4s is accurate when walking, but not so much in the sea - according to the app I haven't come ashore yet from any of my swims...

App is great. It would welcome if there is also option to switch off gps tracking for indoor pool swimming of any pool size.

Impressed with app. Works well in ocean swim tests today against other Garmin activity types.

Although the GPS is not very accurate, the app is very simple to use and gives what was intended to. Keep on the good work!
